Location of Macros Created in Word for WindowsLast reviewed: July 30, 1997Article ID: Q86078 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYMicrosoft Word for Windows macros can be defined with either global or template context. Global macros are stored in a global template (only the NORMAL.DOT file in versions 1.0 and 2.0) and are available from any document window. Template macros are saved with the active template and are available only when the active document is based on that particular template. When you create a macro in a document based on a template other than NORMAL.DOT, you can select either the NORMAL.DOT global template or the template attached to the active document (As Global option button or the In Template option button in versions 1.0 and 2.0) to set the context of your macro. When you create a macro in a document based on NORMAL.DOT, the macro is automatically assigned global context. If you have created a macro but cannot find it, open the document that was open when you created the macro, and use the appropriate procedure below.
